For Sale: 2x Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tyres - 700 x 37c

I have two lightly used, but in exceptional condition - with no signs of wear, Scwalbe Marathon Plus tyres for sale. Both 700 x 37c.

no punctures in 700 miles, one of the best tyres out there.
£30 each new.

I'll sell these both for £31.00 posted to your door or £28 collected from E2 daytimes.

sorry to be ignorant, I'm a newbie, but will they be ok on 16mm rims? If so I will have them :-)

They will be tricky to fit, but its do-able for sure. I'll PM you my paypal details.

Tricky to fit yes...neglect to mention that they'll probably roll off at the meerest thought of a corner.

You'd need a wider tyres to compensate, the typical mavic open pro may not handle such size well.

it managed to just held on my 32c lightweight tyres, which I feel is the maximum.

Thanks for the tip about tyres coming off.

I'd like Marathon Plus for about town. These tyres are supposed to be THE most reliable.

But I realize I am just being stupid hoping to use 37 on my SS bike, going over 32, or even over 28 would probably be a mistake.

The wheels currently are Velocity V bought yesterday off mrx http://www.lfgss.com/thread67241.html#post2224791 (thanks mrx if you are reading, nice guy, showed up on time, good deal); rim tape has 16mm printed on it. I want to switch to commuting tyres, consdering my skill level and needs (just using a reliable bike to save on bus fares!), but fitting 37mm would be ridiculous. Also slow. Slow is OK but too slow gets dangerous around Hyde Park Corner etc. Scares me shitless anyway, but a bit of acceleration helps.

Fitted them to Deep Vs in the past and they stayed on just fine.

OK I will try, have paypalled the money already.

I've had 38s on Deep-Vs for polo. As have other people. You can feel the tyre role on turns, and you need to keep them pumped right up all the time. I think Eggpie had one pop off on at least one occasion. I wouldn't do it.
